What we do with our anger is another story entirely.

Anger gets its bad name when it is expressed as aggression or violence.

In this episode, Robert examines this distinction and give us insights on how to work with our anger.

We explore:

  • Taking a relational approach to anger.
  • How do breathing and eye contact change an argument?
  • How unspoken emotions can affect relationships despite our holding them in.
  • Where to start working with anger.
  • The role of shame, guilt and sadness.
  • Meditation as a tool.

Learn how to honor your anger and maintain healthy engagement with women, and every other relationship in your life.

He says healthy anger is “the guardian of healthy boundaries.”

Robert talks about being present to the emotions that are arising and giving them space to be expressed authentically.

When he says, “Fear is excitement in drag,” Masters is talking about the similarity of the emotions of fear and excitement as they are felt. When we allow the emotion to arise, without avoiding it, fear can be an exhilarating and useful emotion.

In Part 2 of our discussion with Robert Augustus Masters, he breaks it down to the practical level for us. Robert talks about several practices we can do to “get in our bodies” and get in touch with our true power.

Integral means that he is working with mind, body, emotions and conditioning in a flowing and organic way.

Robert works with guys who have the balls to make the changes to make their lives better. His work focuses primarily on the body, as men tend to get “stuck in their heads” and cut off from their feelings. Some women can feel this and may experience the man to be less trust-able and less desirable because of it.

The “Friend Zone” is the place men go when they are not in touch with our true power. Masters clarifies that power does not mean overpowering and that there is a real difference between anger and aggression. When men get in touch with the power from their core, they are more authentic, trust-able and attractive to women.

Robert insists that vulnerability is not weakness but, in fact, authenticity. If we can learn to be vulnerable without crumbling, we can be more in touch with our lives and other people.
